Gifts For Comfort was created to honor Comfort Matthew Devoe Dunigan, beloved son, grandson, and nephew whose life—though brief—left a mark too deep for words.
Comfort was born peacefully sleeping July 17th, 2025.
So much love, so many hopes, and so many dreams that had no place to go. And from that ache, something beautiful was born.
Gifts for Comfort was created to honor Comfort and the countless other sleeping babies whose families never had the chance to watch them grow. Born from the love of families whose mission is to transform longing into blessing.
Gifts for Comfort provides gifts to children in need by matching them by age with a child who was lost so that no year, no milestone, and no birthday passes without love. In doing so, we carry their memory forward believing that love came first and continues to carry us forward.


At Gifts For Comfort, we honor the lives of children we never had the chance to hold, raise, or watch grow. Born from the love of families who have endured miscarriage, stillbirth, abortion loss, and the heartbreak of dreams interrupted, our mission is to transform longing into blessing. Gifts for Comfort collects gifts from families who wish to honor a child they have lost on birthdays, holidays, or remembrance days. Each donation is shared with a child in need, and the family’s story is lovingly featured on our website—creating a legacy of remembrance, hope, and comfort.
In doing so, we carry their memory forward, believing that love came first and continues to guide us home.
Thank you!

Your generosity makes it possible to give comfort, joy, and hope.
Ways to support:
When a child leaves this world before they ever take a breath or grow in our arms, something strange and sacred happens:
We imagine who they would have become.
We picture their birthdays.
We wonder what toys they would have loved.
We feel the urge to buy gifts they will never receive.
It is a longing many families never speak aloud.
For grandparents grieving an abortion they could not prevent.
For mothers who carried dreams and then empty arms.
For fathers who quietly mourn.
For families shattered by miscarriage or stillbirth.
For every person who lights a candle on a birthday that never came.
Gifts For Comfort gives this unspent love somewhere to land.
Here, families can honor their child by giving a gift to another child—a child who needs comfort, care, and joy. Gifts are matched to the age the lost child would be today. When a donor selects a gift, it becomes a bridge:
From pain to purpose.
From memory to meaning.
From the child they lost to the child they help.
This is not simply charity—it is love continuing its journey.
Love came first.
Love remains.
And love, when given away, becomes healing—for the giver and the receiver.
Welcome to Gifts For Comfort.
Where every gift tells a story, and every story is remembered..

Loss can leave families with empty arms and unexpressed love. Many feel compelled to buy a gift for the child they mourn—but with no child to receive it, the heart remains full and aching.
Gifts For Comfort gives that love somewhere to go.
It transforms grief into generosity, sorrow into service, and memory into meaning.
And one day, when heaven reunites what earth has parted, the family can say:
“I honored you every year. I gave your love away.”
We help grieving families honor the child they lost by giving gifts to children in need. Each gift is given to a child who is the same age the lost child would be today—creating a living legacy of love.
